Can I Phone a Friend?

Hudson was preparing to head to Gallatin early in the morning for zone conference.  He said they had spent a lot of time at Connie's again this week.  Hudson used her tractor to spray a pasture for weeds.  He phoned a friend to ask about some particulars.  It took 3 tries to get his old boss from the weed department here in Idaho to pick up on his Tennessee number.  Aaron Hull finally answered very gruffly with a, "who is this."  They had a quick chat and Hudson got his questions answered.  The birds were out in the field pecking around almost immediately.  He hopes they don't die from ingesting the spray?

Hudson is looking forward to the sister missionaries baptism on Saturday.  President Gilday will be doing the baptizing.  Hudson says he will be standing in the confirmation circle.  Only the tall heavy equipment operator will be getting baptized, as the other lady that can't walk well, isn't legally married to the man she lives with.

Hudson states Connie has been more forthcoming on her alcohol use.  She admits she likes to drink to "forget the problems of the world."  Hudson also says she continues attending her old church.  She has friends there and it doesn't hurt they pay her $50 a service to play the organ.  They have put her on date to be baptized on May 15 (Hudson's birthday!).  He isn't too optimistic it will happen.
